Escriba Doubles With Set Postflop

Matt Warburton

Level 6 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Jordi Escriba raised to 1,100 from middle position, Jonas Hackenberg three-bet to 4,500 from the big blind and Escriba called.

The flop came K?3?J? and Hackenberg continued for 2,300, which Escriba called. The turn was the 8?. Hackenberg checked, Escriba took the lead with a bet of 6,000 and Hackenberg called.

The river was the 4?. Hackenberg checked and Escriba moved all in for 15,500 with a very similar stack size to his opponent. Hackenberg looked visibly distressed but then put his chips in the middle to make the call.

Escriba quickly flipped over 8?8? for a set of eights. Hackenberg turned A?Q? for ace high, a hero call gone wrong. He left the table and Escriba scooped a double up.
